I am so upset about it. Been here for 9 years and this is the first to-do. Sorry for going on, but I am not happy at all. But I am so happy that no-one was hurt..

I just feel like bawling. Husband is very OK about it.
Still feel like shit thou

PD1

She was very nice........until you get a letter from her insurance company tomorrow telling you she's in the local hospital with the worst case of whiplash ever recorded and has Dracula for a lawyer.

When have you ever seen a lawyer outside a building in broad daylight?

The worse thing? SHE DIDN'T EVEN STOP!!!! She probably didn't have insurance

Anyway, no one was hurt (at least I wasn't - I don't know about the silly cow in the other car). The only damage I had was a broken indicator light 'cos I wasn't traveling fast since it happened in downtown and we were in commuter traffic.

No, they didn't turn a blind eye; it's not necessarily the case that premiums go up after an accident, but in his case he was in a company car, which was insured under another insurance company, so it didn't affect his premium.

Speaking of premiums, sure some of the insurance companies charge an arm and a leg, but you can also look to the lawyers for part of the blame, as well as crazy drivers. Might you be one of those crazy drivers?

Eveving All

An update on the old car trouble

The lady I hit hasn't called the insurance company or me so far, and the assessor had quoted the damage at $3500 approx, and recommened all new parts, which I believe is not usual. I have a very cute rental at the mo, and my insurance company, AAA, have been very helpful.
Although, I have to admit, when I moved here first, I thought AAA, was American Alcoholics Anon, all those stickers on bumpers...LOL

Drive careful y'all
